Using the Configuration File Learning about the configuration file VERBOSE The VERBOSE parameter is only supported for compatibility purposes. A warning appears if your configuration file contains this setting. Use the --info option instead. For more information, see INFO on page 98. WARN-ADK Instructs E-Business Server to warn the user before encrypting to an Additional Decryption Key (ADK). Typically, encryption to a key containing an ADK happens without the user being informed. The ADK may be a key specified by the ADK-KEY parameter or one set by a preference on the public key's "Additional Recipient Request" packet. Default Value WARN-ADK = no Notes If WARN-ADK is set to yes, E-Business Server prompts the user for confirmation that they want to also encrypt to the ADK. If the user answers no, the ADK is not put on the list of recipients and the encryption operation continues. If ENFORCE-ADK and WARN-ADK are both set to yes, and the user answers no to encrypting to the ADK when prompted for a confirmation, then an error is generated. WIDTH The configuration parameter WIDTH sets the number of characters allowed on a single line during a key-list display. If you want an unlimited width display, set the width equal to zero (the default). If the information displayed for a key on your keyring exceeds the number of characters allowed, then the user ID is truncated and a dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the user ID indicating that the additional information was cut. The key information is not wrapped to the next line. Default Value WIDTH = 0 Notes • You can also set the display width on the command line by specifying --width during a --key-list operation. • If the width is set to less than 50 characters, then 50 is used instead. WIPE If WIPE is enabled, then E-Business Server automatically overwrites and deletes all plaintext files after producing ciphertext files for you. Use the --wipe option when a plaintext file contains sensitive information; it prevents someone from recovering the file with a disk block scanning utility. Default Value WIPE = off You can set the number of times E-Business Server writes over a file by setting the WIPE-PASSES configuration option. For more information, see WIPE-PASSES on page 110. WIPE-PASSES Specifies the number of times E-Business Server should write over a file during --wipe operations. After E-Business Server produces a ciphertext file for you, you can request E-Business Server to automatically overwrite and delete the plaintext file, leaving no trace of plaintext on the disk using the --wipe option. This prevents someone from recovering the file with a disk block scanning utility. Typically, E-Business Server wipes over a file 3 times. Raising this setting may increase security, but may also decrease performance. E-Business Server™ 8.6 Product Guide 110
